I took a tin of sardines and a tin of anchovies and mash up both into a paste inside their tins. I then took three avocados and mashed them into a paste. I mixed the fish pastes with the avocado paste to make a fish guacamole.

I may have gone too far

this inspired me and twice in the last few days my dinner has been rice topped with an avocado mashed up with two tins of mackerel, lemon juice, sherry vinegar and salt

like most of my tinned fish meals it looks like cat food but it was really tasty

If you've got a good recipe to share I've got a fridge brimming with gochujang

Every one I make is kind of a different blend of methods since they're always way different. Usually what I do is look up a couple to kind of remind myself of the basic ingredients. Here's one that I have bookmarked. I followed this recipe pretty closely once and I would omit the daikon. It's a nice touch, but kind of like the nappa you will end up with A LOT of it.

I usually include some gochujang in mine, but if you can get some gochugaru I think that's what is almost always used as the base.

Sorry to derail this further, but now I'm wondering if I could use a different chili powder instead of gochugaru in my kimchi. I made some homemade chipotle powder & I'm tempted to try that out.

I don’t see why not. The one thing about gochugaru is that’s basically reaallly fine flakes. But if it’s an actual powder then it’ll still turn into a paste.

There's no reason why it shouldn't. I'm sure that there are some kimchi purists out there that will demand it only be gochugaru, or it's not kimchi, but from a practical standpoint chipotle chili won't stop the ferment from happening. It'll taste different, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Give it a shot!

And bringing this back to tiny-seafood chat--does anyone have a source online to get real saeu-jeot? I had a friend that used to bring me back jars from Korea, but since Covid happened, she hasn't been able to go home. I'm running low and I really like how those little pickled shrimp make kimchi taste.

chiken paddy, shredded iceburg, a mix of finely chopped sundried tomatoes and mayo which I call tomayo, standard preparation anchovies.



was good. real good. the paradox of it is that the choves make it way better than it would otherwise be, even with the tomayo, yet the choves would be better by themselves on a hunk of bread or a cracker than they are in the sammich

Is there a good method for making not a huge amount of kimchi?

Yes.

Or sauerkraut for that matter.

You buy these:


They're called 'Mason Jar fermentation lids', and they're about $10 for a multi-pack at amazon. They're water-filled air locks that let you do small batch fermentation right in standard size mason jars without having to get gently caress off size tubs or crocks.
I've done kimchi, sauerkraut, dill pickles, beets, sour dough cultures, and a few other random things in these. They're great.

You put your produce in, you top with your brine solution, and you put it someplace room temp or slightly cooler depending on your recipe, typically out of the sun for X amount of time, and blammo. Fermented pickles.

You can do fermentation in vacuum bags if that's more convenient. Just leave several inches of extra bag on it to start, and open and re-vacseal it every day or two once it starts to fart. You don't even necessarily need to add water, just salt to 3% or whatever of whatever you're fermenting and the salt will make its own brine without diluting anything

Personally I'd not eat dines like that. I prefer slices of toast topped with butter, dines, a dash of hot sauce, good tomatos thinly sliced with a little salt and pepper on top. Basically an open sandwich. 2 slices per can is my ratio.

Add capers and mustard instead of hot sauce.
Sliced cucumber or Romain lettuce for crunch on addition to tomatoes.
Mayo possibly instead of cream cheese.

Luckily I have a food processor so making my own cauliflower rice is easy.

Alas it doesn't work as a rice substitute in all dishes, like arroz caldo. Haven't figured out how to imitate the starch leeching into the water to make a congee consistency.

You could just add a little cornstarch slurry...it doesn’t take much to thicken stuff, so if you’re counting carbs it won’t make a big impact.

Cauliflower is awesome if you treat it like it’s own thing, not a zero carb starch substitute. Mashed cauliflower doesn’t taste like mashed potatoes but it’s still loving delicious. You can make roasted cauliflower and bake it with cheese sauce like baked Mac and cheese. It’s not the same but it’s still super good

That is very true. I've been enjoying cauliflower (roasted or riced) with 'dines for a while now & it's pretty :discourse:.

I should try the cornstarch slurry though next time I make arroz caldo.

I used my fingers for the gills and intestines, tried to use my fingers for the spine too but it was too difficult so ended up using a knife to dislodge it. Afterwards I rinsed them in water.

It ended up really good, I made a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper and just gave them all a good twirl in it then up on the pan.

I used these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipQ8YrRNWKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzJdF5dtFo

Someone in GWS recommended this recipe and I think this thread would get a kick out of it. Its not sardines, but I feel that frozen fish sticks are dadly enough that we can let it slide. Essentially you bake the fish sticks up extra crispy, then they get tossed with sautéed onions, chilis, garlic, ginger, a bit of sautéed greens, and pickled onions (the onion method in the recipe is not great, I recommend looking up a different one but it works).

Thanks for sharing that. I bought some canned dace and didn't know what to do with it, so I believe I made shakshouka. Using it as a flavoring ingredient makes total sense & I think I'll use some for seasoning stir fry veggies next time.

my complaint with the tapatio KOs was the lack of olive oil absorption. you learn that with it missing there's a prominent "fishy" flavor that stands out more. Even more noticeable in skinless dined. The skin (bones too prob) are important in flavor

personally I get the jalapeño KOs and coat em in tapatio sauce. good skinned boned dines fully absorbed in extra virgin olive oil and fat-soluble capsaicin from jalapeño and then coated in that perfect tapatio sauce. A throat-burning orgasm. Do it and never regret it
